Lewisham is a well-established South London borough known for its mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian homes, and early suburban developments. Many properties across Lewisham feature traditional London stock brick façades built using breathable mortar systems designed to regulate moisture naturally within solid walls.
Over the years, however, many Lewisham homes have been repointed using hard cement mortar or coated with paint and render. While these materials may seem durable, they are often incompatible with older brickwork and can trap moisture inside the structure.
This commonly leads to cracked mortar joints, brick face spalling, damp issues, and chimney deterioration.
